Grid Integration Challenge #1 What are the requirements? Requirements of the local grid codes are different between countries/regions. Today's grid codes are very diverse and contain many technical gray areas (historical reasons, new generation). Common specification language, as required for global standardization, does not exist. Grid codes are continually changing. EXAMPLE Germany (11 Grid codes and guidelines): ABB Inc. June 6, 2011 Slide 4
Grid Integration Challenge #1 Usually defined at PPC POINT OF COMMON COUPLING (PCC) WT Connection point Z WP Grid 132 kv/20kv 20kV/690V Wind turbine Wind park WT Where to Comply Defines what the performance requirement is for power plants connected to power system Grid code reflects the structure and status of transmission system The content of grid code depends on the region US FERC Order 661 E.ON 2006, German R.E.E 12.3.
